“In times of our greatest weakness strength plus sisterhood equals success.” Intuitive Living, Strength plus Sisterhood Equals Success
Many women are starting businesses in this season of a worldwide pandemic. Some out of boredom, some out of necessity others because they have a dream. No matter the reason we started those businesses to make money. Not to just spend all the money that we have.
Did you know that you have an inner voice that becomes louder as we train ourselves to listen? We each do. We may have all heard the stories of the good voice and the bad voice and how the bad voice is stronger than the good voice. This article is a brief overview of how to use those voices to guide you intuitively in your business.
Intuitive Instinct
Without practice, the so-called bad voice will overtake the good voice. Therefore, we need to train those voices to obey us. For example, a good voice may be telling you to complete a project that you've been procrastinating over for a long time. You complete your projects, but always at a last-minute rush which leaves you feeling stressed and, in many cases, overwhelmed.
Procrastinating is the bad voice. Even if you do not hear it telling you anything, something makes us not complete things that we know need to be done.
Using your intuitive instinct, you can overtake the procrastination spirit. It will work like any good thing we do in life is work. When you feel that procrastination nature overtaking you, close your eyes and relax and see yourself finishing the project. Even start to write the words down in your head or voice text or record them. Take small steps initially, which you build up the muscles using ten-minute blocks or time and growing to 15-minutes and then increasing to 30-minutes.
You are strengthening your intuitive voice and overtaking the procrastination voice. Set a period, for example, try it for 2-3 weeks until it becomes a habit.
Moving by Faith, the unseen
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1
Our intuitive nature once again will lead us down many paths in life, if we listen and obey. Starting anything new or continuing to proceed with something unknown, is moving by faith. You can call or title it whatever you'd like. You are moving into the unseen. However, to make it become a reality you must continue moving forward with it until you can see it in your mind. Let's return to the project that was mentioned earlier.
Seeing it finished. Seeing it completed. Is moving by faith and the unseen realm and making it become a reality in your mind. Once it becomes a reality to you your faith kicks in and the unseen becomes seen in your mind. What felt like a complex mountain in your path, suddenly opened down the middle and you and your project just walked right through to the other side.
Vision, see it before it happens
See it before it happens in your mind is your vision. Have you heard the term "without a vision the people perish," Proverbs 29:18. Think back to people that you knew from high school? Those that had a vision of what they wanted to be or what they wanted to do, normally completed something. They may have changed their minds about that initial vision from high school, but they did something with their lives. On the other hand, those without any type of vision goal normally went down the wrong road or took a bad path. And what about those with big visions?
Most of them of the ones that graduated from our high schools and became financially successful in their lives and careers. Out of my high school class, one became very financially successful and still has a striving prosperous business today. Several others were successful in musical bands that thrived for years and then faded away. Essentially, those with a vision for their futures had a path that they followed. Those without a vision just worked a job that they hated, but it paid the bills. We decide which path or road we have already chosen or will ensure our children or friends do not take.
Intuitively we are moved by the vision that guides us down the path of life. The same with our business goals. Making those goals a reality is having a vision and taking action on that vision. Otherwise, it is only a dream.
Action moving towards the goal
The intuitiveness inside of us can be the driving force for action. Many times, unfortunately in too many lives the action drive is on neutral. It sits in the impartial mode not moving in one direction or the other. That means a decision has already been made for you or anyone in that scenario. Non-action is action. It will determine the outcome for you whether you do anything or not has already been determined by your non-action.
Action or non-action both get results. Many people who do not understand even the basic simplistic nature of our minds do not realize the road is already selected by their actions. Non-action results in nothing or something bad years later. On the other hand, the action of any sort results in something being achieved.
Earlier in this message, the question was posed: Did you know that you have an inner voice that becomes louder as we train ourselves to listen? Those that choose to listen to that inner voice normally provides a warning. Don't do it. Or, I don't recommend you do that. Or, remember what happened to Jim or Sally when they did that. And we either listen or suffer the consequences. But when we have trained our inner voice or intuitive instinct, we heed the warning and stop.
That is why we write down our goals and then the train of our lives has tracks to follow. Have you ever taken a bus, train or plane to a destination nowhere? Of course not, that is why those with written goals know the next actions needed in the plans of life or business.
Our businesses take on a life of their own. Thereby becoming a part of our daily routine. Having that track to follow, goals make taking action easier.
